Speed Demon!!!


Welcome to New Zealand...haha
I had to drive to Auckland today but before I left my wonderful husband advised me to be careful and don't speed...do you think I could heed his counsel...of course not. So I got pulled over. The unarmed officer came to my window asked me for my license and noticed of course that I had an accent. He informed me that I was doing 116 in a 100 km zone. I believed I was only doing 109 but he insisted he was right. After that I thought maybe since I told him I have only been here for 5 months he would let me off with a warning...but NOOOOOO.. Instead he told me I had to take a darn breath-a-lizer. I said "your kidding right" and he assured he was not. WOW it came back no alcohol. Imagine that. So then he proceeded to give me my $120 ticket and told me I now have 20 demerits on my record and if I collect 100 in the next two years I lose my license. So today was not a good day.
